We founded the Dental Bar because we wanted to do two things:
We wanted to break the cold, impersonal stereotype of dentistry and show you a better way. One where you can relax, feel heard, and be genuinely cared for. That’s what we set out to create: a dental visit you’ll actually look forward to.
From our hygienists to our dentists to our patient coordinators, our team is the glue that holds our practice together.
And while we never shy away from hard work, we always save room for good old-fashioned fun, too.
From Pilates to implants, we do it all and we do it together.
“Master of smiles; master of the guitar; master of making you feel right at home.”
“Passionate for adventure, but
even more passionate about your smile.”
It all started as a dream between friends when we were twelve. Over the years, it grew into something bigger than we could ever have imagined.
From Dreaming Big
As friends at church camp dreaming about being dentists one day.

To Starting a Partnership

To Dental School

Where we became dentists (and went from friends to being official!)
To Saying “I Do”

Sending all our wedding guests off with a dental floss favor.
To Breaking Ground

Where we designed everything within our practice from scratch.
To Opening Our Doors

Finally! We were able to start welcoming patients on July 17, 2023.
From Dreaming Big
As friends at church camp dreaming about being dentists one day.
We built our practice from the ground up – literally. When we say we designed every brick and every piece of technology around you and your comfort, we mean it.
From our hidden non-alcoholic speakeasy waiting room to our personalized treatment suites, we made sure that every aspect of our practice serves two purposes. One, it allows us to give you the caliber of dental care that you deserve, and two, it changes how you view dental visits forever.
Do you feel anxious at the thought of visiting the dentist? You’re not alone.
Posted on ArielTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been going here for a year and a half or so now. I can’t imagine going anywhere else. I had severely traumatic experiences at the dentist as a teenager that gave me insane dental anxiety for the majority of my adult life which meant I did not go to a dentist for probably at least 12 years. This office has completely changed my outlook and perception of the dental industry. Everyone is so wonderful there, today I saw a new to me hygienist (I believe her name was Katie but tend to forget names when I walk out) who was absolutely wonderful and I think my favorite so far! She was gentle, calming, and very efficient. Great communication. I sat up afterwards and joked for the first time that I actually enjoy coming to the dentist now for the first time ever. I met Dr. Schackman for the first time since Dr. Doan is out for maternity leave and she was so sweet and asked about some things in my personal life that came up last time with Dr. Nguyen which meant a lot! The whole team is so personable and I am so thankful for them all for changing my entire experience to a positive one!Posted on Dani GallegosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience at this dental office. Andrew, the patient coordinator, and Cheryl, the practice manager, made an excellent first impression and immediately helped me feel welcome. I’ve always been nervous about the dentist, but Dr. Lauren and my hygienist, Kim, truly put me at ease. They listened to my concerns and made me feel seen and cared for. The most meaningful part was their incredible kindness—after hearing that my dog had recently passed away, they gifted me a beautiful book called Dog Heaven. That level of compassion goes far beyond dental care. I’m so grateful for this team and highly recommend this office, especially for anyone who feels anxious about dental visits. They have gained a loyal patient in me!Posted on Austin NicholsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Dental Bar is the nicest dental office I've ever been to! They have all new state-of-the-art equipment and it doesn't feel like an old, dated dental office. I received a cleaning from Liz, and she was the best hygienist I've ever had! She was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer all the questions about my teeth.Posted on BellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today, was my first visit to the Dental Bar. Everyone was pleasant, understanding and positive. You know, it was as though everyone liked their job! I was ready for a dreary and grouchy experience, but it was just the opposite. I’m a runner…meaning, I run from all doctors. However, there was nothing to be afraid of, at all. This is a great place and I’m actually returning for my treatments. I almost never return for any treatments, from any doctors, unless it is an emergency. All of the treatment costs were outlined. No hidden, “gotchas” lurking in the background. And, for the first time, I have a dentist I am willing to see. I will keep you posted as my treatments progress.Posted on MonicaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The doctor’s here are so friendly and really listens to you. I recently was seen by Misty and she was also super helpful, patient, and friendly! She was very detailed and took her time cleaning my teeth. I had stains due to Invisalign and she left them spotless. She also gave me a lot of tips and advice on how to keep my teeth healthy. I had a very positive experience during this visit as opposed to my previous visit where another assistant dried my back teeth with air while getting a permanent crown. The area was NOT numb and she previously told the doctor she was going to use gauze to dry the teeth, but she decided to just use air. It was extremely painful and my back teeth ached for hours after that. I’m so glad Misty took care of me during my last appointment. She was super patient and nice!Posted on Russ BridgesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an amazing Dentistry. The owners are so personal with there patients. I will never go anywhere else! I have been with them for years! Today they fit me in for an emergency extraction of one of my back molars (in November) that was abscess. Thank you both so very much! You are the best!! Oh, and don't doubt their sense of humor!! Very enjoyable environment. I had my teeth cleaned today. What an awesome place..Posted on LDAR OwensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of visiting my dentist's office, and I must say, my experience was superb. Andrew, who oversees the front office, is an absolute gem. His professionalism, swift responses to messages and questions, and sense of ownership are truly impressive. I left feeling very impressed by both Andrew and the entire team. Your practice is definitely in great hands. One in a million!
